Tyler Breeze explains his current WWE role
Tyler Breeze is “a little bit of everything” in his current WWE role.
Since being released by WWE in 2021, Breeze has stuck around the company in a behind-the-scenes position that has included hosting digital content, guest coaching, writing for NXT, and more. He explained his role while speaking with Denise Salcedo for a new interview.
“I’m kind of, you know, I’m going to say a jack of all trades,” Breeze said. “If you need me to show up on NXT and wrestle for the North American title, I do that. If you need me to be on UpUpDownDown, we do that. If you need me to come to some 2K events or you need me to host some Fanatics Live, I’m a little bit of everything. So I wait for the call and I show up. I’m like Batman in a sense.”
Breeze still wrestles on the indies and owns the Flatbacks training school in Florida with NXT wrestler Shawn Spears. In September of last year, Breeze worked a match on NXT when he faced Ethan Page for the North American Championship. It was a special Homecoming episode that took place at Full Sail University, which was the original home of NXT when Breeze was one of the top stars on the brand.
UpUpDownDown, which is operated by Xavier Woods, is an official WWE YouTube channel focused on video games.
Woods and Breeze help coordinate on the WWE 2K video game series by giving feedback each year, specifically when it comes to the MyGM mode that they’re big fans of. The next installment in the series — WWE 2K26 — is set to be released on March 13.
